Description
Ethnography Principles in Practice by Martyn Hammersley and Paul Atkinson is now in its fourth edition, offering a comprehensive introduction to ethnographic principles and practice. This updated textbook provides a systematic approach to understanding the key features of ethnographic work, including reflexivity, data collection, analysis, and writing research reports. The authors argue that ethnography is best understood as a reflexive process, where researchers acknowledge their own impact on the data and analysis. The book draws on a wide range of illustrative material from classic and recent studies within a global context to illustrate these principles in practice. With its new chapter on 'Ethnography in the digital world', this edition will be an indispensable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers using ethnographic methods in the social sciences and humanities.
